    The condition for increasingness is "when xor-ing X with bi such that the highest set bit of bi is the d-th, the d-th bit of X must be 0". Therefore, we can group bi-s by the highest set bit.

    We can go from the highest to the lowest bit d and build the final sequence by merging everything with a given highest set bit with the sequence obtained in the previous step. We can't break that previous sequence this way and we only need to stuff the new bi-s at the beginning / after each 1 as the d-th bit; whether this is possible doesn't depend on what we did before.

        We can find a direct path as one option. Other one is think in terms of creating a cycle(precisely three length) and then reaching n. So for no three length cycle to itself.It should be connected to rest n-2 vertices. Otherwise 3 length cycle exist. If not move one vertex down and then take a three length cycle to n because otherwise graph of n-1 vertices must be clique.

    There are two cases(excluding the trivial ones when you can go to n using a short simple path):

    1) If the connected component of 1 in the original graph is not a complete graph, we can go 1->a->x->1->n, where x is not connected to 1 in original graph, but a is.

    2) If connected component of 1 is a complete graph not a triangle, we can go 1->x->y->z->x->1, where all x, y, z are in a's component. EDIT : This is incorrect.

      I think the second case should be: 2) If connected component of 1 is a complete graph, and n is not in it, then answer is -1. And also case 1) is not correct. We can have a path of length 5, ig the connected component of 1 is not complete. So, if we could not found a way as described above for the first case ( 1->a->x->1->n, where x is not connected to 1 in original graph, but a is.), we can find a way (1->x->y->z->x->1) where x, y, z are in the connected component of 1, and we have the edges 1-x, 1-y, 1-z, but we don't have z-x. I have got it accepted using these changes

        Ok so I can detail a bit more (sorry for the late reply, I was doing GCJ). There is no solution if and only if all nodes except 1 from 1's component are directly linked to 1 and, removing 1 from its component you're left only with cliques (all the components are complete). Broadly speaking, my solution was something like:

        Consider the optimal solution x1, x2, .., xK. Either they are all distinct which means the edges should be those from the initial graph, or at least 2 are equal. Let j be the smallest index for which you also have i<j so that x[i] = x[j]. The thing is that from the minimality of the sequence, you know that you couldn't have ended it earlier so none of x[1], x[2], .., x[j — 1] had a direct link to N. Also from the minimality of j, you know x[1], x[2], .., x[j — 1] are all distinct. Buut then x[j] = x[i] comes. x[i] didn't use to have a link to N, and after first traversing it, it does, so when we're at x[j]=x[i], we have a link to N (and it's obviously optimal to follow it). So either all elements are distinct and you choose the shortest path to N (if any) or j = K and x[i] = x[j] are the first and only pair of equal numbers. Also for the x[i] = x[j] thing to exist, you must have an edge from x[j — 1] to x[j] = x[i] at the point when you travel between the two, which means that you didn't have an edge from x[j — 1] to x[i] in the initial graph (cause x[i]'s edges flipped when you first went through it)

        1) Direct link 1->N? Obvious solution

        2) A direct path from 1 to N of length 2 or 3? Definitely optimal, cause you can't get any better by doubling a node (you'd need 1 x y 1 N in the best case for a node-doubling option)

        3) Does the component of 1 also include a node that is not directly connected to 1? Then there must be a node at distance 2 as well (you can get it through bfs). You can then obtain 1-x-y-1-N which has length 4, definitely optimal

        4) All nodes in 1's component are directly linked to it. Delete 1 from its component and now you may assume that you can start from any point. Since you can start from any point and you want to minimize j so that x[j] = x[i], you may choose i = 1, x[j] = x[1] (why not, there's no use into delaying the occurrence of that thing, provided you can start anywhere). If all components are cliques, you definitely can't do anything, cause as I said for that double node to exist there must be 2 vertices x[j — 1] and x[j]=x[i] which don't have an edge in the initial graph, and since it's impossible to find that here, you have no solution. If at least one pair of nodes S, T exists where S and T are connected (provided you erased 1), You may run a bfs from S, and find at least one node T' at distance 2 (since from the existence of T, you know they are not all linked to S). Then you may have the following path 1-S-midNode-T'-S-N which has length 5, again optimal.

      My code works on this test case, but probably something similar fails it.

      And yes answer is always smaller than 5 if not  - 1, if 1 N is closed, and there is a vertex u at distance = 2 from 1, then the edge 1 u is intially closed, and opens once you leave 1, so you can travel from 1 to u to 1 to N.

      EDIT: This is wrong, see my other comment.

    I got WA on the same pretest. My solution was to do a DFS for paths of length no more than 3. If we are able to reach N than that is the solution. Otherwise if there is a path of length 2 from 1 to some other node X, then we can go from X to 1 (because the tunnel is now open) and then from 1 to N.

    What is the flaw in this logic?

    Yes, I did it that way, but I handled the binary search part by using Java's TreeSet (which internally is a red-black tree implementation). A special case is when the starting and the ending rooms are on the same floor — in that case you don't need any stairs, nor elevators. :)

    Sort the array elements in pairs(ar[i],i). Now assuming each array element of the sorted array s_ar[i] as the minimum element for two types of services separately, find j so that (j-i+1)*s_ar[i].first >= x1 and store in cal[i] for 1st type and similarly store for 2nd type in val[i] . Now check if there exists i<cal[i]<j<val[j] or i<val[i]<j<cal[j].

        It's not that 'they' change the rules. It's the setters' responsibility to make checkers for each problem, and it's up to them whether they'll allow different cases or not.

          Maybe it should not be left for the setter (unless explicitly specified that case matters) Coz people have lost points due to wrong hacking attempts in the past. Either way it should be documented either globally or per contest that case matters or not.

    I think almost every CF contest have "pratice". But there is some time after the contest (approximately 30 minutes) when you can't submit your solutions

I don't understand why there is so few submissions for div1 D. It is just simple case analysis

      Eh, my solution is really weird (O(qn^0.5log^2n)) and I bet there is a better one

        I can offer O(n2) in 1.7s, Maybe it's better in some way =)

    Split queries in blocks of size k. For each block build compressed tree consisting of vertices that change in this block, their lcas and the root. For each edge in this compressed tree, store all balances for vertices on that edges in sorted order. When some vertex changes, change all its ancestors and for each edge on the path to root you need to add\subtract 1 from all balances on that edge. You need binary search for it so this solution works in . But you can get rid of it if you notice that you don't need to store balances with absolute value greater that k. Then it will work in . I had no time to implement this optimisation and got OK without it. Sadly I spent 40 minutes solving B, so I wrote E few minutes before the end and had no time to debug it.

Got WA on pretest 7 for problem C Div.2, does anyone know what this case was? My approach as just print abs(y1-y2) if on the same floor, otherwise binary search for closest elevator and for closest stairs and print the minimum of the two.

    Closest may not be optimal. You have to check closest on both sides of your current location.

        equal_range(stairs.begin(),stairs.end(),y1);

        Why do they have to be equal to current location?

          That's equivalent to make_pair(lower_bound(stairs.begin(),stairs.end(),y1),upper_bound(stairs.begin(),stairs.end(),y1));

            Okay. Well, that doesn't serve the purpose -- that will always fetch positions on the equal or right of current. left side remains unexplored.

            Use lower_bound and lower_bound — 1.

    I'm pretty sure fabs(x) returns a double so replace it with abs(x) and it should print correctly.

for div 1 C i chose greedily the minimum value with which we should xor so that we can find the next value in a which is greater than the previous value. I used trie with deletion. Here is the code . http://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/967/submission/37730673. Why doesnt it work ?

    If you will "chose greedily the minimum value with which we should xor so that we can find the next minimum value in a which is greater than the previous value", you will get AC.

        I have solved the problem in that way during the contest. So it should work and you should look for bugs in your code. Btw, your trie implementation is a bit terrible at first glance =)

    You have a bunch of places where you need to use long long. A few examples I found: 1<<lvl, types of ans, x and res.
